Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter

Clean the air filter on the side of the projector after every 100 hours of use. If it is not cleaned periodically, it can become clogged with dust, preventing proper ventilation. This can cause overheating and damage the projector. To clean the air filter, follow these steps:

1.Turn off the projector, allow it to cool down, and unplug the power cord.

2.To prevent dust from falling into the projector, place the projector as shown below.

3.To clean the filter, EPSON recommends using a small vacuum cleaner designed for computers and other office equipment. If you don’t have one, gently clean the filter using a very soft brush (such as an artist’s camel-hair brush).

If the dirt is difficult to remove or if the filter is torn, replace it. Contact your dealer or call EPSON at (800) 873-7766 to obtain a new one. In Canada, please call (800) 463-7766 to locate a dealer.

4.If you need to replace the filter, lift the tab and pull it upward to remove the filter.

5.To install the new filter, first insert the tabs, then press down on the opposite end of the filter until it clicks in place.

note

When you get a replacement lamp for your projector, a new air filter is included. You should replace the filter when you replace the lamp.
